Our Story
The story of Bare Body Beauty co. began with a leap of faith - and a longing for something slower, and more real.
OUR BEGINNING
Ten years ago, our founder Donna - mother, creator and a quiet force of nature, left the noise of the city behind for the quiet hills of Joadja in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales.
With her children beside her and the future unknown, she began again. Life was quieter, and in that stillness, Donna found herself craving something of her own. A creative outlet. A way to care for herself. A ritual. So she turned to her hands, her garden, and her kitchen.
HANDMADE WITH HEART
Using backyard lemons, homegrown lavender, and her morning coffee grounds, she began to craft natural skincare from scratch -bare, minimal, and deeply nourishing.
It was never about luxury. It was about feeling good, doing good, and finding beauty in the everyday. What started as self-care became something much more.
From her first market stall in Berrima, Bare Body Beauty co. started to blossom. By 2015, she had opened the doors to her first store in Berrima, and soon people all across the Highlands were falling in love with her handmade creations.
OUR STORES
Over the years, our little company has grown in beautiful, grounded ways with stores in Bowral, Byron Bay, Beechworth and our newest addition - Manly.

Along the way, we have popped up in places like Bulli, Macarthur, Miranda, Wollongong and Brisbane, meeting new faces and spreading the joy of natural skincare wherever we go.
Today, every product is still made by hand in our Southern Highlands warehouse, where over 250 small-batch items are lovingly created using only the most honest, skin-loving ingredients.
From hydrating body scrubs to incredible cleansing bars and bath treats, our skincare is bare, uncomplicated, and real - designed for everyday people who want to feel good in their skin without the chemicals, clutter, or hype.
